|
This is a story bout a young nigga
|
Who's mama was a whore and his daddy was a drug dealer
|
Ridin' 'round the corner from 'em was the spot
|
They sold weed, lace, base, heroin and marijuana
|
|
His role model was an older nigga
|
Who kept a wad of hundreds 'cause he had a whole lot of money
|
Now keep in mind this is 'round the time that
|
Miami niggas was really tryin' to put it down
|
|
That's back when the pimp game played out
|
That next year crack cocaine came out
|
And it all started in the suburbs
|
But only rich folks could afford to go and smoke that good dope
|
|
And yo they used to call it free-base
|
But when it made it to my block, me and my boys called it Crack Rock
|
We used to cook it up and bag it up and sell 'em
|
Nickels and dimes to any bitch that was buyin'
|
|
Shorty's gonna be

So he's gonna be

|

|

|
|
Mama was a G
|
Daddy was a G
|
Nothin' left for him to be
|
But a thug
|
|
And when he first hit middle school
|
He was a typical, ordinary, everyday ass dude
|
Around the time eighth grade came around
|
He had done made up his mind, a nigga can't lay down now
|
|
His first job, he was a watch out
|
He had to scream one time every time the cops hit the block
|
We used to call him Bo Brown
|
'Cause when he came around, close shop nigga, shut it down
|
|
Them lil' two-hundreds
|
That was a lot of money for a young nigga sittin' 'round not doin' nothin'
|
Plus his mama had a newborn from an old nigga out the hood
|
Who don't do shit for him
|
|
They go another bill, another mouth to feed
|
Oh well, yo a nigga couldn't stop there
|
He gotta keep food in his crib and keep the lights on
|
Ain't like his daddy's comin' back home
|
|
Now just imagine the role of a thirteen year old
|
Who playin' head of his household, now that shit's cold
|
But then again I suppose
|
You already know how the shit go
|
|
Shorty's gonna be
|

|
|
Mama was a G
|
Daddy was a G
|
Nothin' left for him to be
|
But a thug
|
|
He advanced from watch out man to lieutenant
|
And now he got two feet waist deep in it
|
And he control the whole operation
|
But it's kinda different 'cause he's dealin' with some stiff competition
|
|
And everybody wants to be buddies
|
All of a sudden friends but then again all they see is money
|
And he ain't never too flashy wit it
|
Not into cars and jewels, just nice clothes and new shoes
|
|
Half of the money went straight to his mama
|
But the other half, you know, the kid had to keep it stashed
|
But it's kinda hard to hide drug money
|
But it's worse bein' a dope but none of this shit's worth dying for
|
|
But when it comes to livin', money's nothin'
|
Bein' dead is free now tell me, what would you rather be?
|
Don't tell me, tell it to your child
|
Make your talk worthwhile and the rest, he'll figure it out
|
|
Shorty's gonna be
|

So he's gonna be
